HI, what does it mean when I do #rpm -U software.rpm, it turns backs with message "error: can't create transaction lock" ?

It means that there's some process already using the rpm database. Check if yum , rpm or up2date are running or if there are any zombie processes from any of these programs.

I have also seen this while trying to run rpm as user other than root.
